Yes NOS it might be super rare. But you see - the rare coins are always the best known among those that collect a given series simply because they...
Looks like damage to me - question is what did it ? I suppose it's possible it is ejection damage but I think it more likely it was a counting or...
What he said - gonna getcha for that !! :D :D
Howdy GAPCRACKER - Welcome to the Forum !! Sadly I must answer no - all '91 cents have a wide A M.
It appears I was correct regarding the denomination - for based on the weight & the diameter it can be no other than the 1/12th ecu. But that...
Perhaps more important are the essais for each design & denomination that were distributed to each mint so that the die engravers had something to...
